How long did you wait to drink



Recommended Posts

How long did anyone wait to have an alcoholic drink? My dr said to drink on special occasions but never now long I should wait.

I didn't drink till after 6 months. I never asked my doctor how long to wait, since I'm not a regular drinker in the first place. But I figured once I was on full foods again, it was safe. I thought I was a cheap drunk before, now 1 Mike's Hard Lemonade and I'm feeling good. :-)

I had some wine after 4 weeks. Nowadays, I enjoy an occasional cocktail made with vodka and Isopure Zero Carb. 20g of Protein in one drink. :)

That sounds good. How far out are you?

I'm just shy of six weeks out and sipped on a few small glasses of red wine over this past weekend. They didn't do much for me as far as getting "buzzed" or anything but I can certainly report no ill effects with the sleeve. Was nice to be able to enjoy it, though.

Mine made us sign a contract saying we would avoid alcohol for 1 full year.

At two months I had a glass of red wine I felt buzzed but nothing major and did not feel sick.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
